@flynorse Our flight from OSL to LAX was cancelled with no notification email or message. The flight is in just under 3 weeks and we have not been offered a solution. We have to arrange other flights and rearrange accommodation. Please get in contact

Happy to share our new preprint on a GBA1 mutation classification database that we generated, hopefully it will be useful for researchers, clinicians and pharma companies. This work was done in collaboration with @cornelisblauw and his team at the NIH. https://t.co/iwYsCjWSp4

We did a GWAS to identify genetic variants that influence #Parkinsons disease progression and mortality. Check out the preprint here! https://t.co/AbLWuwahsf

[Manuela Tan @ManuelaMXTan]

This was a massive effort and would not have been possible without all the participants who took part in these research studies, as well as all the people who contributed data and expertise @huwmorris @LassePihlstrm @MaryamShoai @Ed_Jabbari @reynolds_regina @cornelisblauw ...

@smead2 @drpatricklewis Thank you!

Our review of Mendelian randomization and colocalization "Combining evidence from Mendelian randomization and colocalization: Review and comparison of approaches" is now online at AJHG: https://t.co/vF8LlWcEk9. Summary follows!

[Ed Jabbari @Ed_Jabbari]

For 4 years me and @ManuelaMXTan spent most of our days/nights genotyping samples in the 9th floor labs @UCLIoN or swearing at R and GenomeStudio in the office at Russell Square House. I’m glad we made it and got to celebrate together today!

(1/7) Manuscript reviewing tips

-Don't review beyond expertise: it can be tempting to accept an invitation from a reputed journal but don't review beyond your expertise as it can be harmful if you miss something which has a significant influence on the results. @AcademicChatter

"How to cover letter"; a brief thread from a scientific editor's perspective

Yes, in brief editors do read cover letters although like myself, most pay far less attention than to the abstract and main elements of the paper!

First, a few "do's"

[Manuela Tan @ManuelaMXTan]

@monicadiezf1 @nachogenePD @ycompta Congratulations!!🎉🥳

[Parkinson's Seminars @PD_seminars]

Exciting news everyone...we are back! Join us this Wed @ 2pm to hear from @ManuelaMXTan, @UCL, on genetic variants associated with progression, and @ViolaVolpato, @cardiffuni @UKDRI on cell-specific pathways associated with genetic risk.

Register: https://t.co/Kdz9miqKgs

[Aligning Science Across Parkinson’s @ASAP_Research]

We’re excited to launch the first training module from #GP2Research: Beginner Bioinformatics for #Parkinsons #Genetics. Aimed at researchers and clinicians, the course provides a basic introduction to bioinformatics and its application in #PD.

How to revise:

As an editor and author I have seen many revised papers return to journals. Given effort, most go well (ie step toward acceptance). Some go pear-shaped. I’ve slowly improved and have an approach known by my group as the ‘Breakspear method”. Here is its essence

[Manuela Tan @ManuelaMXTan]

Really excited to share our work on the genetics of PD progression. We used a new PCA approach to identify variants associated with motor and cognitive progression. @huwmorris
